Additional Information
Nice quick left for beginners or a longer faster right for more advanced. Can get big but stay in the deeper water area to access. Lots of fun. Grab a chair on the beach and order a margarita. Hang out and surf. Shorebreak is fun to watch.
Atmosphere
Good sheltered spot facing more north I think if south swells blowing out further down the coast.
General
local school kids on battered hand-me-down boards rip...locals are friendly and very good. Give them the wave first out of respect.

- its a fun wave, breaks on the outside then mushes out. On the inside they look like they'll break but never pitch, they just roll in and make for a pretty strong shore dump. There's a decent amount of backwash to manage as well.
PAWA surf is down the street towards town, good place to rent a board. They also coordinate trips to other breaks in the area.
